Happy Super Late New Years! lol
It's been far too long folks. My bad.
Been hard to function since being stuck inside due to lack of a fully functional two wheeler (boring story, but it oddly gave me a good idea for a video that might spark some peoples interest so stick around for it!).
I've almost received everything so I'll be uploading more soon!
Thank you to those who have stuck around and have commented (good or bad, lol), and have sub'd and have stuck around for more. You folks are the real champs!
Now enough hugging, let's get this done, lol.

9:42 - Stratus on me noggin
10:00 - Stratus Weigh-In
10:35 - Note about having cameras on these helmets
11:22 - End words
ONE THING I forgot to mention was that the airflow on this helmet is similar to the Falcon. It cools you down very well. It does channel air a bit better for sure, so it "feels" more aero than the Falcon. ALSO, it seems like the Stratus is being gouged in pricing at the moment, so your best bet to get one fairly price is most likely eBay or a similar site. I was fortunate to get mine at $95+s/h (closer to $105 (not the cheapest thing I've bought, but things are hard to get somewhat cheaper now, what a pain).
Even if you don't want this helmet, Bell and Giro (they are now under the same company I believe?) currently make some decent helmets well under $70-80!
In the end, the Stratus will most likely be taking place of the Falcon, and for replacement foam, we'll need to look elsewhere for that. Those are the breaks.
Hopefully you guys find some of the information useful. I apologize again for a late update, and if you're unable to locate the Stratus cheaper (Covid kind of wrecked a lot of things, we just gotta roll with the punches).
More to come within the next few days!
Thank you for sticking it out with me, and remember to subscribe/comment!
RACING IS ALMOST BACK TOOOooOOoOoOOOoo!!!!
See ya'll at the next one!
